  • Good news everyone! The tyre was patched by our friendly local tyre shop. Well I say friendly, but I’d say more indifferent than anything. To be fair though, they always get our tyre issues sorted. I don’t need a smile and some faux interest in the wife and kids, I just want my stuff repaired quickly and cheaply and on that point they deliver.



  • Yeah, the car that only drives on flat bitumen road to like shops and stuff… Well, except our driveway which is currently mud central. Looks like those redneck pools of mud they drive 4x4s through all day.

    Meanwhile the vans go in to industrial sites, gutter hop a heap, and generally get driven with zero care for where the rubber is going and… actually get punctures at least once a year lol.

    Originally I pulled the tyre off to get it fixed, but decided to do a temporary fix by… screwing in a larger screw! It’s reduced the leak to practically nothing so we’ll just pump it back up tomorrow morning and drive it to the tyre shop. Currently gone from 48psi to 45psi over 5 hours or so. Normally run it at 42psi.

    The scene:

    The culprit:

    It has become our Christmas tradition to watch this video after Christmas lunch is over and we’re all laying around on the couches struggling to breathe through the over indulgence of ham and fruit mince pies.

    It always hits just right when you’re in that state.

    I dont know who that is. I’m sure they were a big deal though.

    Glad to hear they aren’t dead I guess, which was my initial expectation based on the headline.
